The Eight O Five apartment building in Chicago bills itself as being “not just a box” but “architecture with a soul.” If that’s the case then you can glimpse intriguingly twisted little bits of that soul in the various elevator lobbies of this 33-floor tower.

Commissioned to come up with a collection of 90 unique art prints for the building, that city’s Thirst design studio developed “a system for assigning characters and design techniques to each print,” explains founder and design director Rick Valicenti; three prints are displayed in each of the 30 elevator lobby bays.
